Power steering system
E00607400084
When the engine is stopped, the
power steering system will not
function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind
in particular when towing the
vehicle. Never turn off the engine while driving. Periodically check the power steering fluid level.
Active stability & traction control (ASTC)
E00613800168
The active stability & traction
control (ASTC) takes overall
control of the anti-lo
ck brake system, active stability control
function and active traction control function to maintain thevehicle’s stability and traction.
Please read this section in con-
junction with the pages on the
anti-lock brake system, active
stability control function and
active traction control function.

CAUTION
!●
Do not hold the steering
wheel in the fully turned
position (either left or ri
ght), for long
er than 10 sec-
onds.This can cause damage to
the power steering system.
CAUTION
!●
Do not over-rely on the
ASTC. Even when the ASTC
is operating, there are limits to how far it can ensure vehicle stability; reckless driving may lead to acci-dents. Always drive carefully, taking account of the road conditions.
●
Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherw
ise, there is a possibility
that the ASTC will
not work properly.
